Well, New Years Eve I finally asked my girlfriend, the love of my life, and long time ski boat partner, to make me the happiest man on the planet and marry me.

She said yes!

I proposed before dinner, on bended knee, in the garden at the Rainbow Lodge restaurant here in Houston. She was completely shocked and cried, saying yes, over and over again. It was truly a magical night for us both.

We have already discussed having the wedding on Lake Austin or Conroe, and possibly using our MC in the ceremony. We met almost 18 years ago while skiing with a mutual friend on Lake Conroe.
